Yup, probably...LOL!
nice work dave, looking forward to seeing it again at crail and hopefully see it crack the 11's!
OK, I finished off chopping up the rear hatch today, including removal of the lock, latch, cables for boot / fuel release, release handle and a shit load of metal that wasn't doing anything.
In order to secure the hatch, I used a set of stainless steel bonnet pins...
Trying to get them to line up was a pain in the a**e, but after a few hours all was good.
With the addition of the pins, I still managed to save another 3.2 kgs!
Off now to get my clutch from the post office (buggers want nearly £100 on Import Duty and Taxes)!

I hope you don't leave your car anywhere it can be knicked Dave, seeing as it's security will now be lessened ?
It gets disabled while it is parked up!
Unless you know what you are doing, you will never get it started!
I'm going to do the clutch first and then get it on the scales!
I recon around 1000 kgs going by how much I have removed!
More of less lol! Glad you've got the clutch finally dude! 
I was talking to Specky today with the blue silly power Tigra and he mentioned you when he saw my car, asked if you were going to be at TOTB, as last time you were there in the bandit you raced him or something.
I'd love to see you go up against him, but i think he's running 600+bhp and got a 9.8 last year, so might be a bit quick for you now.

Yeah, we raced at TOTB 6 where I beat him in the actual race, but he managed to scrape into the 11's at around 124 mph, beating me overall on the day in the 1/4 mile FWD class.
Here's a video of us racing back in 2007 at the Ten of The Best 6 event...
